DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Appearing before the cameras coughing and sweating profusely, the man leading Iran’s response to the new coronavirus outbreak promised it was of no danger to his country.
“Quarantines belong to the Stone Age,” Iraj Harirchi insisted.
A day later, he himself would be in quarantine from the virus.

At least ten priests have died in Italy after contracting COVID-19. More than half of them were from the Diocese of Bergamo, a town outside of Milan in Lombardy.
The bishop of Bergamo, the Italian diocese hardest hit by the coronavirus outbreak, said Monday that the 20 priests in his diocese who have been hospitalized after contracting coronavirus have shown considerable improvement and six others have died.
“The number of priests who have died this week and that of those who are still in a particularly serious situation is very high,” Bishop Francesco Beschi of Bergamo said in an Italian radio interview March 16.
WHO says 2 staffers have coronavirus, healthcare workers in US begin to test positive

WHO says 2 staffers have coronavirus, healthcare workers in US begin to test positive
The World Health Organization said Tuesday that two of its workers have been diagnosed with the coronavirus as healthcare workers across the U.S. begin to test positive, prompting many on the frontlines to prepare for the likelihood of a long road ahead.
WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier told Reuters that the staffers had left the office and then at home showed symptoms.
At least 200 health care workers in Connecticut and New York were put on leave after possible exposure to COVID-19, Gov. Ned Lamont D-Conn., said Monday night.
The article says these two patients “had no underlying conditions”.
I’m sorry to say it, but looking at the photos, they do have an underlying condition. They’d easily fall in the category of morbidly obese. That is a medical condition unfortunately and a high risk factor for serious complications.
I’ll risk the guess that one or both have sleeping difficulty and may need a cpap, prior to infection.
I wish them both a full and quick recovery
I agree. I’m not sure the general public knows yet that obesity is a major risk factor with this virus. That spells trouble for the US.
plus they treat their employees and vendors like total crap.
Wow, it’s bad over there.
I’m always amazed by people who think just because they experienced (fill in the blank) and were OK, that everyone else will be.
